Good Afternoon Coordinators,
Here at Lincoln Plaza we are focusing on
sports again, as we approach the ending of baseball and with a football season
began at full force (GO PATRIOTS) we have decided to do art work with out
favorite football teams logos. My students know that I love everything Boston so
they weren't surprised that I would chose New England teams. This worked well
for me because the students got to learn a little bit about me more, vise
versa. I showed them my piece for the the New England Patriots, followed by
Boston College's logo, my painting of my New England Revolution logo, and
finally I showed them a picture of my favorite football player following with
an interesting fact about each team. Many of my students enjoyed this activity...they wanted to go ahead and do one for a basketball and baseball team.
This not only introduced new teams to them but many of these students didn't know that
college football existed. It was interesting for myself to introduce to them a
team which happens to be 1-5 but at the end of the day they enjoyed researching
that colleges aren’t just for learning but they do have fun extracurricular
activities such as sports. This not only introduced sports but it introduced a
new world to many of my students and it was interesting for them to see that
education doesn’t just stop after high school. Although many of my students
wanted to focus on local teams but I showed them other colleges rather than
Fresno State. This is a great exercise to have them ask what has college taught
us about life and what do we value most about our educational goals that we
have accomplished.
Pictures will be up by the end of this
week.
